I know this is gonna be the hot take from every talking head but I never liked the way the Warriors handled this whole KD injury thing. I thought they originally soft pedaled the seriousness of the injury for gamesmanship reasons and then to allow him to come back like this was not a great idea. I didn't just feel that last night. I've been feeling it ever since he got hurt.
I compare it to the ways the Cavs handled injuries to kyrie and love that first year. They announced both players would not be back for the entire playoffs. And that stopped the idea of the player trying to pull a Willis Reed style comeback. The warriors wouldn't do that for whatever reasons and openly teased it since the day after he got injured. People will say Durant wanted to play but that's not solely the player's responsibility. The medical staff has to have the veto in those situations and look out for the player.
